This is a pair of steel components from the tail plane at the rear of a rocket. The flat panel, still showing green and grey paintwork, remains clearly visible, along with a bracket that originally held the tail plane parts together.
The parts are in a rusty, relic condition but are overall in good shape. They were torn off by the impact of the crash and, despite their relic state, remain solid and have been carefully cleaned. They are ideal for display or any collection and measure approximately 9-5 inches in length.
This is a rare addition for any collection. The parts were recovered from the crash site of a German V1 rocket that fell north of the village of Billum, Denmark, on 27th March 1945.
The item comes with 2 laminated A5 information cards, including a diagram marking exactly where the parts were located on the rocket using a coloured box.
The flying bomb is reported to have approached from a south-easterly direction at approximately 19:00 hrs and fell 15 meters west of Trvevejen Road, about 3 kilometres north of Billum. It exploded on impact, scattering debris over a wide area. Some parts were recovered immediately, while others were found many years later, in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
